How to hide topography, but keep subregion visible

[woezme]

Ladies/Gentlemen,

I'm wondering if you can keep subregion visible, while hiding topography......

[barthbradley]

You can't. But you can with a Split Surface.

yeah, you can, but it's one of those Revit thing...

Hide the topography in view, then reveal hidden elements, then tab-select the sub-regions and un-hide in view...

Silly, but it should works.

I'm guessing the solution was the wicked cool hack that @gsucci told us about. No?

If you have a ton of subregions and you need to hide the maintop in several views, then give the main topo an ID such as Name or Mrk or Comment = Main topo, then create a View Filter to hide it based on the ID criteria.

yes

Great, thank you so much. This really helped me during a project. This should be stated in that part of the software explanation

[JKspace424]

this did not work for me.  Is it different for later versions of revit?

[gsucci]

This still works in Revit 2022.

Are you following the given tips?
